When shipping from Teoloyucan to Altamira, consider the impact of seasonal factors. During the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), build in buffer days to manage potential delays and arrange alternative ports of refuge, especially in peak storm months (August-October). Additionally, anticipate increased congestion during the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) and the Western New Year Holiday Period (December 20-January 5), necessitating early bookings and flexible delivery windows. Track weather forecasts closely to adjust routes and schedules as needed throughout these critical periods.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, you should check if you need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value Generators Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that rigging are covered, and retain inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and backup generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is important to ensure that the cargo is securely packaged and properly loaded to prevent damage during transit. Heavy machinery may require specialized rigging and securing methods to accommodate their weight and size. Additionally, consider the need for flatbed trailers for transport to the port in Teoloyucan before loading onto vessels.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading.
